George Harris, a bus driver, was nearing the end of his shift when heavy snow began to fall, adding to the frustration of an already stressful day. As passengers boarded, an older woman in a long overcoat struggled to find her wallet. George grew impatient, already late to meet his girlfriend, Angelica’s, parents for the first time. The woman apologized profusely, claiming she had lost her wallet and phone after shopping for her granddaughter’s engagement gift. Despite her distress, George snapped at her, accusing her of trying to scam him and forcing her off the bus into the snow.

George, determined to make a good impression on Angelica’s wealthy parents, rushed to meet them, his mind preoccupied with the upcoming dinner. Angelica, beautiful and intelligent, had stood up to her family for their relationship, despite their disapproval of George’s modest job. After a tense half-hour, George arrived at the stunning brownstone in Tribeca, adjusting his tie nervously. Angelica greeted him warmly, and as they entered, George was introduced to her mother, Meredith, who seemed welcoming but formal.

During the tour of the house, George was struck by a photograph of the same woman he had thrown off the bus. Meredith explained that the woman in the photo was Angelica’s grandmother, a difficult character who had lost her wallet that day. Just as George began to process this, Angelica’s father arrived with the elderly woman—Gran Millie—who, to George’s horror, immediately recognized him. She accused him of being the rude bus driver who had tossed her out into the snowstorm.

The tension in the room escalated as Gran Millie recalled the incident, her anger evident. Angelica, confused, tried to calm her grandmother, but the situation grew more awkward as Millie’s recounting of the events painted George as a villain. Despite the uncomfortable confrontation, George tried to remain composed, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that this moment might jeopardize his relationship with Angelica and her family.

As the evening continued, George struggled with the fallout from the confrontation, his earlier attempt to make a good impression now in ruins. What started as a hopeful evening with his girlfriend’s family quickly turned into an uncomfortable ordeal, forcing George to reflect on his actions and the impact they could have on his future with Angelica.
